WELCOMERS

This ministry is vital to congregations in St Teresa’s. Welcomers stand by the door, smiling and greeting, and making sure people get the papers/books they need for that Mass. When new children arrive they offer them children’s books or colouring materials. If you can help with this ministry please contact Fr Clive.

ALTAR SERVERS

For boys and girls who have made their First Holy Communion. They receive training by the parish priest. For more information, please contact Fr Clive

READERS

Readers work from a rota, prepared in advance.

There are normally two readers per mass: one to read the First Reading, and one to read the Second Reading and the Prayers of the Faithful.

Anyone who is willing to take on this ministry, please contact: Keith.
